Sewing on Summoners

[sakon76]

Went over to Liz's this evening for a bit of sewing. She pinned the hem of the Summoner dress for me, so I can start proceeding further on that now. I also tried on the Regency stays she's making (Mantua Maker pattern) and apparently size 20 fits me like a glove with a 1.5" opening in the back. Have borrowed the pattern. ^_^ We arranged for her to come down to my place on either Saturday or Sunday and we'll make a gala day of sewing and fitting things to one another. I think it's a good thing, though, that while I was rereading Couture Sewing Techniques today, I found myself constantly thinking "Huh. Nice. Interesting. Not for this set of outfits, though!" There is a time and a place for couture techniques, and hall costumes that really don't need them to look good are neither the time or the place. Doing the thirty lacing eyelets by hand was quite enough of a couture touch. Nonetheless, the read was a nice refresher and brought several ideas for future possibilities into my head. For now, though, it is time for bed....
